I just wrote my third letter to the President in the last few weeks. Here it is :

Dear President Obama or whoever reads this,

I am one of Mr. Obama's supporters who went outside my box of comfort and workded door to door, made phone calls and went to New Hampshire the full week prior to Primary Day though I live in Rhode Island. I am so disappointed in Mr. Obama's lack of willingness to stand the line for justice regarding wiretapping and holding GW Bush accountable. Principles are more important than maneuvering through the land mines of politics, Mr. President.

And when I have written in the past, here I have always sent a duplicate letter to The White House via USPS. And the one time I got a response it had nothing to say about the issue I raised - Darfur. Obviously, no one really read what I took the time, effort and heart to write about.

Sincerely hoping you'll so do something about the "Stain on our Souls" - as you put it when talking about the responsibility to act regarding Darfur. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QEd583-fA8M Read Matthew 25. I think it is fitting and appropriate.

Thank you, if anyone actually read this.

About Me

I love my life. I love where I live. And I am passionate about my passions. I love to dance. Necessary to live: music, piano, singing, writing, acting, painting.
I have been fighting for and supporting the arts all my adult life. Since 2004, I have been working with other activists to end the Darfur genocide.
I have traveled to Europe many times since my early twenties. Places I have been: many USA states including Hawaii, Montreal, Canada, Barbados, France, Spain, Luxembourg, England, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Greece and Germany - and have wonderful memories.
My last trip was in May - June 2013 to Spain.
I would like to travel to Europe and Kyoto, Japan.
I love the southwest where I have visited Hopi, Navajo, Zia and San Idlefonso potters.
Life is exciting and I intend to live it full-out to the end.

Genocide is not only a word,
it is crying of the whole human race.
There is nothing redeeming about being silent
when speaking up is the humane thing to do.
The honor and integrity of the human race is at stake.

"...And these for whom life has no repose, live at times in their rare moments of happiness with such strength and indescribable beauty, the spray of their moment's happiness is flung so high and dazzingly over the wide sea of suffering, that the light of it, spreading its radiance, touches others too with its enchantment..."
